Best practice no 21

The combustion process begins with the application of a heat source to a sufficiently rich mixture of fuel and oxidizer, producing a rapid oxidation reaction of the fuel, which manifests itself in the form of a flame.

COMBUSTION PROCESS

What is combustion theory? It is the set of physicochemical processes by which part of the internal energy of the fuel is released in a controlled manner. A part of that energy is going to manifest itself in the form of heat and that is what interests us. We know the reaction of a chemical element with oxygen is called oxidation. Combustion is nothing more than an oxidation reaction, in which a large amount of heat will normally be released.
